Topper on Colonial Confederation.

=
PARIS. January 5.-Sir Charles Tup.
per, Canadian High Commissioner in
Great Britain, was interviewed here
today on the question Of a Colonial
Confederation. He appeared to be
less sane aine on the subject than are
many Influential Eoglishmen. He said
be thought that loose legal titles wer9
preferable and safer than hard and
fast ones, which would inevitably
cause contention. He advocated the
admission of Colonial Delegates to the
English Cabinet, but only for the dis
cussion of colonial afialre. The Idea
of Federal Parliament he looked
upon as chimerical. How" he said
could the majority enforce its behests
without provoking SECESSION" He
admitted that growing military en-
pires mensced England and her colo
MES, but he eontrsdicted that the
same causes which were running the
Territorial sristocracy OF England would
crush out Of existence every military
empire which failed to change its
ways. Upon being ssked whether
there was disposition on the part OF
the United States to acquire Canada,
he replied: UnquestioUably 30, but
the time hiss gone by for getting it.
We have become a big morstl TO eat.
We have the Union placed upon .
firm basis. We are intensely loyal
TO our Institutions and 10 the Queen.
The Dominion is delighted to pay
el0,00U yearly to an ,Eoglish mob e.
man to repres mt the crown" He
8 i'd the astonishing veerirg in Eng
land toward Damo cracy had tended
to promote a clostr sympathy be-
tween the mother country and the
colonies. The colonists disIiked the
aristocrscy, but the crown was his
toric rallyipg point. He thought that
perhaps the time was ripe for what be
called an intsrcolonisl aud British
family tariff and tariff for the rest of
the world.

II is generally considered that what
IL a mans interest msy safely be left
10 his own care, but the rule by no
means holds good. The stock on
railroad is Of very great value, yet &C
ciden,s that care or some moderate
expenditure would prevent, are con-
tinually causing Losses That smount to
thousands. II looks unnatural thAt
human life should be disreGardod, but
il is often sacrificed TO rave few dol
lars, as we see in tie case OF employees
being killed when coupling cars, while
there are inventions by aid OF which
the coupling may be done without risk
to any one. Accidents will occur that
no human iorsfight or care can pre-
vent, bat accidents that are pre-
ventibe by proper care are
indefenslble. The most distress
ing and destructive accidents
on railroads occur from collisions, one
train running into Ianothsr ;.and tais
class OF accidents, with very few ex-
ceptions, care, method and a ttiict
holdiug to responsibility can prevent.
The tenible catastrophe at Tiffin, o.,
shows how destructive and fatal col
li1ions are, yet they ought to bs the
rarsss oil all railroad accidents. A
wheel may break, or from malice or
unforeseen causes an axle or rail may
break, or a switch be misplaced. TIE
movement OF the trains upon the
roads have their time regulated by su'
perintending ofiicisls. AS a rule the
prescribed time can be observed, or, in
case Of delay or stoppage, Lotice can
be given to keep from danger trains
running on the same line at the same
time. Where collisions occur, there
fore, the officials OF the road ought to
be held strictly responsible. Where
property is concerned and there ia los ;,
the Law hes ample provision for punish
ing che guilty. In deciding the place
and time Of a running train there are
means OF 30 arranging that no two
trains shall be on the same rails at the
same time, and surely the law should
hold those whose thoughtlessness,
negligence or disobedience OF orders
cause loss Of life amenable to its pen
alties fully as much as in the case
Of property. Collisions are not
always as tragical as the one at Tfiu,
but from frequent dlreful conse-
quencsp, and from being so especially
within the power OF care and dill
genco 10 prevent, they should be made
the subject Of strict legislation.

Fifty.six Men Convicted of Resisting
Rents ana RvictiOn.
DUBLIN, January 5.-The fiity-six
men arrested last August, at the time
Father FAhey was taken into custody
for resisting the c.; ection of rent aud
eviction on the Clanicarde estat 8,
at Woodford, County Galway, were
today sentenced to terms Of imprison-
ment ranging from twelve to eighteen
months. The Judge who delivered
the sentences censured the inspectors
Of polics and local magistrates for a.
lowing the rioting, and declared no
Chief Secretary for LELAND, no Under
Secretary and no Inspector Gen
ersl could bs justified in Riv-
ing orders TO prevent police from
assisting the Sheriff in making evic-
tons or carrying out theprocess Of the
law for the collection Of rents due. 1t
will be remembered that Gen. Sir
Redvers Butler, who, at the time of
these acts, was in the special military
command in Ireland, short time be.
fore, caused it to be known that he
would not permit the military to be
used in the eviction way, without first
being convinced that their assistance
was absolutely necessary. This with
drew from the Sheriffs the military,
upon which they had always previ-
ously relied.

reckless men did not exist resolved to
